The Electra Jailbreak of iOS 11.3.1 is now open source and available on GitHub.

CoolStar announced the news via Twitter earlier today...

"We have had several problems with pwn20wnd and have decided to remove him from the Electra team due to his recent behavior. I have caught wind that he was planning to leak the source code, and so have open sourced it before he could do that."

"FTR: It was not my decision to add pwn20wnd to the Electra team. nullpixel added him to the git repository without giving me much choice. He has blown his contributions way out of proportion and was stirring up unnecessary hype on twitter without asking any of us first."

"I will let the Github repo speak for itself to show how pwn has been blowing his contributions way out of proportion. iOS 11.0-11.2.6 jailbreak was completed a long time ago without pwn. He really only did work on the UI and the nonce setter"

In response to the allegations, Pwn20wnd tweeted, "So let me clear it up here: I planned on building a new open source jailbreak from scratch. But I never planned on leaking Electra’s code. That’s such a pointless attack. Oh and GitHub repo speaks for itself right? It really does. I have done a way more job than what he claims I did. You can check it out."

Developers can check out the source code for Electra at the link below. We're expecting a new release soon that will replace Cydia with Sileo. Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.
